Question: if the response contains a picture containing an email address to contact directly, is that a spambot? I assume the answer is yes.
You assume correctly. The reason they do that is the spam filters are text based and get trained to trigger off known bad text, and those email addresses would trigger the filter.
Also if they quote back parts of your post to you, that's a good sign that it's spam.
Basically, if you're going to do stuff on Craigslist, you're better off using a throwaway gmail account.
